Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua has vehemently denied an article currently circulating around the internet claiming to have interviewed him about the sudden demise of Ghana’s former President John Evans Atta Mills.

The story, which originated from Nigeria’s Abuja based Leadership Newspapers and was subsequently re-posted throughout media houses and internet news sites in Ghana and across Africa, claimed Joshua had said he did not foresee the death of Mills and was distraught at the news of his unexpected demise.

“He was a very dear son to me and I was his spiritual godfather,” the article quoted Joshua, who was reportedly close to Mills during his presidency, as saying. “His death is a great shock and blow to me personally… I was so hopeful he would recover his health completely, but it is sad and only God knows best why he should die now.”

The purported interview proceeded with quoting Joshua as explaining, “I know many persons will be saying how come my fervent prayers did not save his life. All I can answer such persons is, why did God allow Stephen in the New Testament Bible to be stoned to death. Why did God not save the life of Stephen, an innocent man, as he was being stoned, dying? The answer is simply this: sometimes God allows things to happen for unknown reasons, and indeed reasons no man can explain, that is why God is Almighty Sovereign God; who indeed can question Him, who can challenge God?”

Social networks had been awash with speculation since Mill’s death that Joshua would come out in public to claim he predicted the tragic incident, especially considering the proximity of their relationship and his reputation for accurate predictions. It was widely reported that after Mill’s ascension to office in 2008, he visited The SCOAN and publicly acknowledged Joshua’s prophetic insight in his three-round election victory. Joshua also garnered significant media attention in April following the fulfillment of his prediction relating to the death of former Malawian President Bingu wa Mutharika.

Joshua came forward via his Facebook account, ‘TB Joshua Ministries’, followed by close to 250,000 people, to deny that the interview ever occurred. "The interview in LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER of Thursday 26/7/2012 titled “I Did Not Foresee Atta Mills’ Death – T.B. Joshua” does not represent me, T.B. Joshua, because I was not around and I never spoke with anyone,” his statement read. “People say all sorts of things against me but God says ‘Touch not my anointed and do him no harm’. Why should anybody write this - as if you will not die one day?”

He then further stated that, God permitting, he would talk to the public concerning Atta Mill’s death this Sunday via his Christian television station Emmanuel TV, which is extremely popular and viewed daily by millions, especially within Africa.

"This is the first time I am talking to the public after the demise of our late president,” Joshua said. “I will talk as God instructs me on Sunday Live service on Emmanuel TV.”

He called on all those who had lifted the supposed interview from Leadership Newspapers to immediately retract the information. "Those that may have copied the false story from LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER should remove it from their sites because this does not represent me. It is not from me."

Kwame Mawunyo wrote:Founder and General Overseer of the Synagogue Church, Prophet T.B. Joshua says in an unusual manner, God did not reveal the death of Ghana’s President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, which occurred on Tuesday in Accra.

The renowned cleric in a mournful mood affirmed he would have intensified prayers to avert the sudden departure of the late President if he had received any revelation from God.

“The Ghanaian President was like a spiritual son to me so I could pray to God to avert the death, if I had received any revelation from him,” Prophet T.B. reportedly told reporters in Legos, Nigeria when commenting on the death of President Mills.

On that score, he revealed President Mills and other senior government officials had visited his temple thrice this year to receive special prayers, but God never revealed his death to him in all the three instances.

“Of course, I knew he had been ill for some time now and he had come for special prayers concerning his health thrice this year, and I and my other ministers had prayed fervently for him. I was so hopeful he would recover his health completely, but it is sad and only God knows best why he should die now,” he asserted.

Against that backdrop, Prophet TB Joshua expressed profound shock over the death of Prof. Mills and urged Ghanaians to remain calm in this torrid period.

T.B. Joshua added: “Mills was a very committed person in the things of God and also very dedicated. Each time he was in church, you could see the fervor and hunger and thirst for God written all over his countenance. He was a very dear son to me and I was his spiritual godfather.

“I know many persons will be saying how come my fervent prayers did not save his life. All I can answer such persons is, why God allowed Stephen in the New Testament Bible to be stoned to death. Why did God not save the life of Stephen, an innocent man, as he was being stoned, dying?

The answer is simply this: sometimes God allows things to happen for unknown reasons, and indeed reasons no man can explain, that is why God is Almighty Sovereign God; who indeed can question Him, who can challenge God?

“When we humanity eventually see God in the glorious city of Heaven, then, can we have answers to all our questions. For now, he can only get a 99 percent answer but never a 100 per cent answer”. **

This is the Truth. Why did God allow Al-Qaida to down World Trade Center? The answer is to find reason for US to eliminate the impending doom the world would have faced from Osama Bin Laden and his henchmen. It could have been worse than what Hitler rained on Europe.

Ghana was going through a lot of nonsense and nobody knew what could have happened in December. It seems people have sat up at least for now.

I don't even think it's that complicated. What is the explanation needed for a man passing away of natural causes at 68? What's the life expectancy in Ghana? This isn't Old Testament with men living to 932. I'd rather listen to Tebow talk than this guy!
